the answer will be meaningless until you specify what kind of wood and how finished.

Coefficient of friction for glass on wood?

I found somewhere online that the coefficient of static friction was 0.36, but I don't remember where so that has little credibility.


An example of two surfaces that have a low coefficient of friction?

human joints are an excellent example. they have a static friction coefficient of .01 μs and a kinectic friction coefficient of .003 μkanother good example would be waxed wood on dry snow (as in a snowboard on a ski slope) this has a static friction coefficient of .04 μsHope this helped!


What reduces friction between two pieces of metal?

Something with a low coefficient of friction such as PVC or PTFE polymers


Is coefficient of friction a material property?

Not exactly. It is more like a property that expresses the RELATIONSHIP between two different materials. For example, wood on wood can have one coefficient of friction, wood on glass another, and wood on concrete yet another, so this isn't something that can be attributed to a single material (in this case wood).


Why do you think the coefficient of friction varies so much for dry wood on dry wood?

Different types of wood have different coefficients of friction. As dense, hard, wood will tend to be smoother than a porous, soft, wood.


Does glass have alot of friction What is the order of the amount of friction from sandpaper wood tile carpet and glass?

It doesn't quite work that way. You don't specify the coefficient of friction for "glass", or from "wood", etc.; you specify the coefficient of friction between a PAIR of substances, sometimes also including any substance in between, such as lubricants. For example, you would specify the coefficient of friction:* Between glass and glass (dry) * Between glass and glass (wet) * Between glass and wood * Between wood and wood * Between tiles and leather (this might be interesting, since shoes are often made out of leather) etc.


When you describe a metal surface as smooth what property are you describing?

Could you use wood for static friction?

Wood, or any other material, could be used to introduce static friction to a system. The choice of material(s) depends on how much static friction the system requires. Each material has its unique coefficient of friction.


What factors can effect the amount of friction between two objects?

The force of friction between two objects is the product of the normal force and the coefficient of friction. The normal force is the component of force that is perpendicular to the plane of friction. For example, if you are pushing on a block of wood on the floor with a force F at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal, then the normal force N = F sin 30. The coefficient of friction is specific to the two materials, in this example the block of wood and the floor. In addition, there is a static coefficient of friction (applicable to a stationary situation) and a kinetic coefficient of friction (applicable when the object is already moving).


Is the coefficient of friction up to 13 unit?

No. Coefficient of friction is not measured in units.
